In determining the question whether ancient
laws which have fingered on the statute books,
long UnObseryed, should. as a matter OF duty be
Vt IA operation and vigorously enforced until re-
peIled II may be wise precauton TO discover ex-
a-.ly where the decision will carry us. Old Mary
ltnd statutes OF the era when legislatures SUPER
viSed the actions Of men and women with blue-law
rfcity form part OF the Districts legal heritage
and the power of repeal has been little exercised
by a busy and formerly Indifferent Congress cor
respondent OF the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
has been burrowing into the legislation OF the
states IN that era, and OF his discoveries are
Interesting.
In 1723 Maryland passed a law against Sabbath
breakers. providing that men should not labor or
profane the day by gaming. fishing hunting or
other unlawful pastimeS or recreationS, under fine
Of 200 pounds OF tobacco" This law was unre-
pealed when the District OF Columbia was ce1ed to
the United states has never been repealed by Con-
Cress. and Is therefore, IL Il said, a law In the
National capital The Maryland law against bias
phenly. stiIl extant, provides as punishment that
the offender shall be. for the first OfenSe, bored
through the tongue with hot iron, and fined go.
For "a second offense he shall be burned upon the
forehead with the letter "B." and fined GAO For a
third onense he shall suffer death without benefit
Of clergy.
The neighboring state of Virginia also furnishes
Interesting legislation. BY law which may posi-
bly, still b. upon the statute books absence from
church without valid excuse was punished by a
fine Of one pound OF tobacco An absence Of one
month was punishable by fine OF fifty pounds Of
tobacco. An act was also passed In that State
providing for the punishment OF 'babbling women
by three ducks in the horSe-pond on a ducking-
chair or stool. and funds were appropriated for
making the chair. The Massachusetts, legislature
passed law providing that "mea shall not wear
their hair Ike women nor their own or Others
made into periwigs Women are forbidden the
wearing OF borders Of hair (bangs, cutting curl
ing. or inmofest laying out OF their hair Grand
Juries are authorized 10 present the offenders and
county courts 10 proceed against Them a fine TO |
be imposed by the court"
Before we take upon US the burden OF obso-
descent or practically obsolete laws careful en-
animation Of the Districts legal graveyard must
u made IN order to ascertain whether under the
new order Of things. the women of the District |
may 'babble' without danger OF being legally |
dUcked OrInay wear bangs with impunity, and |
whether the men may stay away from church |
without being fined, or may swear three times |
without being put TO death.

When two Judges on the bench attack each
other Ia oHen court with destinations and direct
epithet, a. occurrc! In Camden v j., yesterday
II IS not surprising that the matter creates some
local excitement. The cause OF the trouble at
Camden was the assertion by woman accused of
violating the excise law that she would not be dis
turbed- because she had "the biggest man In the
court" on her side. There seems 10 have been
some reason for withholding a license from the
woman when her application was laid before the
court, but the Judges had divided In their vote
and the majority favored the grant. Yesterdays
episode will probably not pass out OF recollectio
without impresSiny upon the minds OF the easy-
going members OF the court that the issue
o, licenses cannot be TOO carefully guarded An
error on the side OF excessive caution can do
no serious HARM for there is not community OF
ten thousand souls anywhere in the United States
that could not get along equally well with hal. It's
existing supply OF dramShOps: but an error In the
opposite direction may be fraught with very great
evil vulgar and ignorant person. who receives
privileges 70 which he Is conscious that he IS not
entitled Is apt 70 have his vanity stimulated b.
his success. and 70 wish TO inspire the world with
a sense OF his Importance. he will boast by sly
indirection- Of hts influence with the powers that
be, and damage by his hints and fnuendos repu
tations which he could not possibly reach by OUT
hight accusation. Camden Is by no means The
FIRST place where this sort OF thing has been done
and the scandal which has been created there
ought 70 teach the dispensers OF legal privileges

The Toughened 'FOrty-Niner

In the old mining days ofCalifornf-,
when provisions were short in the
Frazer River camp, it was the custom
Of some OF the case-hardened old fell
lows to tell stories at meal time calcu-
lated to destroy the appetite of the
more sensitive. A miner who had
successfully played this game many n
time, paid visit to San Francisco,
and during his stay was invited to
dinner by a clergyman. AS soon as he
was seated at the table the miner be-
san to eat up everything within range
in his usual vigorous style. His host,
who would sooner have omitted din.
ner than grace before meat, endeavor-
ID to check his ill-tlme voracity by re-
marking "Please wait a moment,
sir; we usually say something before
we begin" His guest, with the men,
DRY OF the Frazer River anti-prandial
anecdotes fresh in his mind, answered:
"0h, you can say what you durn
please, you can't turn my stomach"
The preacher nearly tainted, and, al
though his guest afterward rose to
high Office in the State, could never be
convinced that he was not an irro-
daimable savage.

A Good PenwOman.

The most accomplished penwoman
or penman among the $4,000 OF
more government clerks at Washing.
ION is Mrs. Helen M. Avery OF the in.
terror department. The New York
Herald says OF Mrs. Avery:
She writes all the commissions, pro-
motions and dismissals for the de-
partment. Her chirography is a
model OF uniformity and clearness. 1t
Is doubtful il her superior exists even
among the professional teachers oil
writing. The president is q great
admirer OF Mrs. Avery's penmanship
and frequently refers to it in compli-
mentary terms when it comes, as II
Dften does, under his observance.
Mrs. Avery is also a clever pen-and-
INK artist. A head OF Tasso drawn
By her few years ago is said by con-
noisseurs to be equal to the finest steel
engraving. She does her work rapidly
and apparently without effort. Her
suites occupy about two hours daily.
The rest OF the time she employs as
The chooses. Her position in the de-
oartment is supposed to be rs near an
approach to a life tenure as the mos :
successful government employe can
hope to obtain. Her salary IL 81 600
per annum.
